SLTV StarSeries Season XII has been announced with prizemoney boosted to $50,000 and number of LAN final teams taking place on February 20-22 upped to six.

The twelveth season features a significant boost in prizemoney, from $35,000 in the previous season - including $2,000 for each LAN final team in travel support - to a total of $50,000.

1. $18,000
2. $9,000
3. $5,000
4. $3,000
5-6. $1,500

Also, for the first time in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the Season XII LAN finals in CyberArena, Kiev, will have six teams attending instead of the usual four. All six teams will also get an additional $2,000 in travel support as per the previous seasons.

We can see that the organizers updated the map pool, with Cobblestone replacing Season:

de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_cache
de_mirage
de_overpass
de_cobblestone 

Because of that the system has been tweaked. Sixteen teams will be divided into two groups, from where the top two teams will qualify for the LAN finals, while the third and fourth placed teams will battle for the last two spots in playoffs.

LDLC	Epsilon
HellRaisers	97club
CPH Wolves	x6tence
PENTA	GPlay

Eight teams listed above have already accepted invites for the league, the organizers are still waiting for other invitees to reply, so stay tuned to HLTV.org for more information.

Apart from that SLTV have announced that 2015 will feature a total of five seasons, with the LAN finals dates listed below:

Season XII: February 20-22
Season XIII: April 17-19
